Currently used T1 mapping techniques utilize both ECG gating and breath-holds/navigators with low imaging efficiency and/or respiratory motion artifacts. We removed the need for ECG gating and respiratory monitoring with Cardiac MR Multitasking, a continuous acquisition technique using a low-rank tensor (LRT) imaging framework. The aim of this work is to validate a free-breathing, non-ECG-gated native T1 mapping and ECV quantification method in healthy subjects against standard MOLLI T1 mapping.
